Lately I’ve been a bit obsessed with modern takes on jewelry and this wool felt collar necklace from Etsy seller Nervous System made my heart skip a beat. This lacy necklace is laser cut from wool felt and features an organic pattern of shifting ovals with three snap settings allowing for adjustable fit. So chic and so graphic!
Another beautiful example of nature-inspired body adornments is this bangle from Lazerian. Made from high quality polypropylene and brass fittings, this piece is beautiful, modern and visually stunning. Lazerian is a creative practice that began in 2006, set up by Liam Hopkins, a Manchester born designer. Based in an ex-hat factory in Manchester, the practice is focused on the creation of functional objects through playful investigation of materials and processes, and seeks to imbue objects with a bit of soul. The company works on a variety of projects, including furniture, interiors, and jewelry.
After spending eight days surrounded by nothing but nature and water in Kauai, I’ll admit reentry into my life in the city has been greeted with not too much enthusiasm on my part. All I can think about is the exotic colors and shapes of tropical flowers and the beautiful designs of sea life I saw in tide pools. Which leads me to introduce Iris Saar Isaacs and Jane Barwick of InSync Design, two Australian designers taking contemporary jewelry to a new level. Fresh, modern and drawn from botanicals and graphic design, these beautiful powder-coated stainless steel pieces are a breath of fresh air! I am in love with their bangles and those poppy earrings. Check out more at InSync.
Loving this jack and carnelian ball necklace from Docent. Headed up by Creative Director Cora Thomas, her pieces are darkly humorous and playful. The jewelry is created from antique brass, enameling and custom-made materials.
I am getting impatient for fall here in southern California with summer lingering on forever. My boots are waiting for cool weather and I am itching for some new accessories. When I saw these necklaces from Mctega last week, it was instant love. Organic, edgy, slightly surreal and pretty affordable for such a statement piece. “Mctega is a collaboration between scientists. Using mass production techniques of industrial chemistry on a much smaller scale, they are creating one of a kind pieces out of materials known for their ubiquity. Changing the nature of materials and applications.”
